Brief synopsis of Jezebel

Set in the antebellum South, William Wyler’s JEZEBEL centers on high society beauty Julie Marsden. Julie first arrives on horseback, then enters her home flamboyantly hooking the long flowing train of her dress with her riding crop and hoisting it to her shoulders. Julie is not just high-spirited--she is self-centered and high-handed, and she gets away with outrageous behavior because she is rich and beautiful. However, she gets her comeuppance - losing Pres and becoming reclusive and spiteful - before a chance for redemption occurs.
